This one is a bit of a risk, as some of you may not have read any of the books and seen any of the films. I know the author has turned out to be a bigot, I read the books and enjoyed the films long before she started spouting hate. The books remain brilliant works of fiction, she should have taken her billion-dollars and crawled into a cave with her hate.

Delete1: How many of the Harry Potter books have you read? All
ReplyDelete2: What Harry Potter character are you most like? Wouldn’t even consider it now.
3: If you had a House Elf, would you give them clothes? Absolutely
4: What educational experience was most like Hogwarts for you? None
5: How many of the Harry Potter films have you seen? All. And I will never see or read anything by JK Rowling again.
She has very much messed up her reputation.
Delete1. All seven.
ReplyDelete2. Luna Lovegood.
3. Sure.
4. Hard knocks. Schooling taught them little. The three went on their wits and humanity.
5. All. But I won't be watching the new versions coming to HBO in the next few years.
Why would anyone remake the movies?
DeleteYou are correct. I know nothing of Harry Potter, aside from a train platform and and a train viaduct.
ReplyDeleteThey were fun books to read.
Delete1: How many of the Harry Potter books have you read? Not a one.
ReplyDelete2: What Harry Potter character are you most like? I could say Harry because after my bout with the shingles, I, too, have an odd scar on my forehead.
3: If you had a House Elf, would you give them clothes? Are they hot elves?
4: What educational experience was most like Hogwarts for you? Life.
5: How many of the Harry Potter films have you seen? I've seen them all and won't watch them ever again ... nor would I read the books. JK, you know.
Many authors, are or were horrible human beings.
DeleteThe hot elf comment was priceless!

ReplyDelete2: What Harry Potter character are you most like? None of them.
3: If you had a House Elf, would you give them clothes? Elves do not exist so to be frank David, this is a ridiculous question.
4: What educational experience was most like Hogwarts for you? None.
5: How many of the Harry Potter films have you seen? None. Reading "The Philosopher's Stone" put me off Harry Potter for life. The book was badly written and the fantasy subject matter so incredibly tedious.
Ah! A thoroughgoing rationalist. 😊
DeleteMost like Voldemort, likely to keep his house elf a slave.

My grandson, Thomson, who just finished 2nd grade is on his second Harry Potter book and we watch the movies as he finishes each book. It's a fun adventure to share with him.
As the books get longer and more complex, the movies offer a shorter highlight of the book, it would be interesting to hear how an 8 year old thinks about that.
DeleteI've only read the first book and seen the first movie. Never successfully got into them.
ReplyDeleteI was very surprised how I was taken in, I am generally not a fiction reader.

When you give a house elf clothes, you free them from slavery.
